What “point” do you imagine the Pups made, Robert Nowall? They claimed the Hugo Awards have been consistently hijacked by doctrinaire leftists for the past however-many years (the exact span varying, depending on which Pup was raising this talking point and the phase of the Moon). No Pup has ever yet managed to point to any evidence that supports this contention, but it is nonetheless an article of faith among the Pup segment of fandom. But apart from the lack of supporting evidence, the massive success of the Pups’ slate raising a rather pointed question: If there actually was some sort of clandestine cabal that made it their business to put an impenetrable barrier between the Hugo Awards and the sort of SF which the Pups like, how in the name of Klono’s curving carballoy claws did the Pups manage to place more than 60 Pup-approved works on this year’s Hugo ballot?
